Determine the right version to build CEF

[linuxcef9]

Hello,

I am confused about building the right version of CEF.

As per https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/, the stable chromium release version is 73.0.3683.86
Corresponding chromium source code is : https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom ... .0.3683.86

3683 branch shows up as 'Current release branch' on https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ndBuilding as expected.
But the commit history https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ranch/3683 shows that commits are still being made to that branch.
Thus, if I build cef, it'll just pick the latest commit on branch 3683 instead of the commit corresponding to chromium 73.0.3683.86

I am following https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... dows-setup to build branch 3683 by giving --branch=3683 parameter to automate-git.py.

So I've the following question :

How can I give the exact commit, corresponding to 73.0.3683.86 commit of chromium to automate-git.py ?

What am I missing or what have I misunderstood? I basically want to build cef as per the latest stable release version of chromium.

Thanking in advance.

CEF is built on top of Chromium, so there can be many CEF commits that all use the same underlying Chromium version.

So if I want to build CEF based on top of chromium commit 73.0.3683.86, what do I need to do?

Because if I give --branch=3683 option to automate-git.py, and build it now, it'll be built on commit https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... 4d?at=3683, which I believe is not based on top of 73.0.3683.86.

CEF 3683 branch has not yet been updated to Chromium version 73.0.3683.86. If you wish to perform the update yourself you can find instructions here: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... n-manually
